Kood Island

If nature lovers have a chance to visit Trat just once, please do not forget to think about Kood Island close by Chang Island. Fine white sand and clear blue sea represents the magic of nature. Since Kood Island is not overly disturbed by development, numerous people from all over the world pour in to visit the diamond of the east. Kood Island is the last island of Eastern sea that connects to Cambodian territorial waters. Some call the Andaman the Eastern Sea because of the blue sea, fine sand, natural features, and undersea ecosystems. This place is suitable for people who love peace and relaxation amongst eye-catching nature. On Kood Island, there are several attractions well worth a look. Chak Bay is a small peaceful cove with shady rows of coconut trees. This is also the centre in terms of the fishing village, port, and seafood market. Tourists like to come and camp here to see the sunset. However, you will have to contact the administrators for more details.
